Last year I formed an addiction to Jaime's Tart Cherry Crumb Cake...it's an amazing recipe and always a crowd pleaser. But this year, I've been playing around with the coffee cake recipe my husband grew up on and decided to create a muffin version (my kids love them, plus it helps control portions) that is inspired by Jaime's recipe. These have quickly become the most requested muffins in my home, even wooing my husband who isn't necessarily a muffin-kind-of-guy. When I caught him going back for seconds I knew this recipe was a keeper :)

Starr, this is one of my favorite patterns of all-time. It's a Liberty fabric I picked up at Purl SoHo. It would be fun to buy more and make pillows or something...

Katherine, the cherries in syrup are probably overly sweet for this recipe (due to sitting in high fructose corn syrup). I would stick to the cherries in water or the frozen pie cherries maybe. I am not sure of your location, but if you are in UT, the best cherry guy comes to the SLC farmer's market.

Linda and Matthew, I think that would be worth trying...let me know how it turns out.

I wanted to let you know I made your cherry muffins this morning and they were wonderful. My sister is visiting and loved them. I will absolutely make them again. And yet another delicious reason to keep those canned tart cherries on hand!
